" The Easy Way to Make Dog Treats at Home. "

Homemade dog treats can be healthy, delicious—and intimidating. We tried a stress-free recipe in a dehydrator and made our Labradoodle, Blake, deliriously happy.

Every time I pour a bowl of kibble for my six-year-old Labradoodle, Blake, or toss him a nasty-smelling dry treat, I think: There’s way better, fresher food out there. My desire to spend more money on higher-quality dog food and treats is high, and all of the subscription offers I receive from pricey pet food companies that deliver fresh, pre-portioned dog food to your door are tempting. But those membership fees? Not so fast. 

The problem is that it’s challenging to know what’s really in our dog food. I like knowing exactly what I’m feeding Blake; the thought that I’m spending money on food and not getting excellent quality doesn’t sit well.

....While recently testing food dehydrators for CR, I discovered something incredible: You can use them to make homemade dog treats. My initial thought was: Cool—Blake would love homemade treats. My follow-up thoughts were: Who has the time, what ingredients do I need, and what makes me think I am the sort of pet parent who can make homemade dog treats?
